The way most folks crack a SAM file on a system that uses SysKey is by running a utility called PWDump as an admin to get the LM (LAN Manager) and NT hashes. SysKey was introduced in Service Pack 3 (SP3) for NT 4 but every version of Windows since has had SysKey enabled by default. SysKey is an extra level of encryption put on the hashes in the SAM file. This tutorial will recap parts of the original, but also give a far simpler, faster and more concise way to crack hashes in the SAM file that are protected by SysKey.
There are still ways SAMInside could be used, but there are better Open Source tools now that can do the same tasks. One reason I'm writing this new tutorial is because sometime after SAMInside v.2.1.3 exporting to a PWDump file was disabled in the demo version. It was pretty popular and the data is still useful but in the last year I've found far better ways to crack a SAM file with SysKey enabled. SAM/SYSKEY Cracking, visit it if you want more information on this topic.Ī little over a year ago I wrote a little tutorial called "Cracking Windows 2000 And XP Passwords With Only Physical Access".
Update: : I've made a single page with links to all of my Cracking Syskey and the SAM on Windows XP, 2000 and NT 4 using OpenĬracking Syskey and the SAM on Windows XP, 2000 and NT 4 using Open Source Tools
